Parking situation is a bit difficult leaving you to park on the main road. Gym is small and kinda dark.

I have heard great things from other parents about Great Hearts schools and wanted to find out for…read moremyself. We applied this year and were fortunate to have been drafted through lottery. My daughter loved her old school and was quite disappointed when we told her that she was going to a new school. However, after 4 months, she has acclimated well and have nothing but good things to say about her teachers and classmates. She finds the work challenging and exciting. The school has taught her and our family a new way to approach reading. They teach Latin and have poetry wars. They also have an after school program that is an extension to their education and not just babysitting. The after school teachers help with homework and pick up is until 6 pm. They also have after school clubs with nominal charge. What is most important to my family was the school's faculty and their program for kids with special needs. My son was diagnosed with a rare disorder in October, that affected him neurologically. Some of the staff from school and after school program visited him, including Mr. Brogran (assistant headmaster). We love his teacher Mrs. Laird. She is a smart, kind, and loving teacher. She visited him in the hospital twice. My son had missed 2 1/2 months of school from being sick. Ms. Ernest (teacher), has been so patient in teaching him at home. She has been an important part of his education. We drive to school at least an hour twice a day, sometimes longer. We decided to move closer to the school since our kids loved being there.

I am a student currently.And I honestly feel disappointed,I was pretty exited of going there but to…read morebe honest it feels like a reformatory when I get there I fell like my freedom is taken away .(personal experience) if a teacher does something bad the school doesn't care and if the student does something they give you detention and I personally feel like the teachers abuse of there power.Aldo there are some things good there are more things. The school is a place that gives me as a student anxiety for trying to do everything Perfect as the teachers want me to type of anxiety, please parents don't bring your child here if you don't want them to have anxiety the school system is really bad

I took a class through the North East Independent School District Continuing Education Program…read more They offer a wide variety of classes on a quarterly basis. They publish a catalog that they'll mail out to you if you ask, or you can stay updated on their website. The course descriptions seem to be accurate, and the class fees include the materials like textbooks. The classes range from language classes, to accounting, to painting, knitting- they offer a wide variety of fun, practical classes. Each teacher I've had so far has been knowledgeable, qualified, clear spoken with a lesson plan and handouts. The classes are held at various locations around town, from high schools to community centers. The signage is generally good. Taking classes here is too cool for school!

I've lived in NEISD for 10 years and Have had 4 kids together go through all 12 grade levels K-12…read more All of my kids had special needs and 3 of them were gifted as well. My kids did not receive the accommodations specified in their 504 regularly, and I didn't receive timely 504 updates. My gifted kids were in GT in SAISD and in Northside ISD, but NEISD decided they could not be in the program because of one test administered on 1 day at the school headquarters. Another failure of NEISD is their lack of care for the less fortunate students and families. There is no affordable after school care or summer programs available. The schools on the wealthier neighborhoods (Stone Oak, etc) have nice new facilities and athletic fields, and the schools that are in less desirable neighborhoods have run down buildings and athletic fields. It's no wonder so many charter schools are becoming popular. It's really disgusting and the district should be ashamed to call themselves public education. It's all about money and politics, apparently.

The George Gervin Academy is a local charter school founded by former Spurs player and NBA hall of…read morefame player George Gervin, hence the name, and is run by an administration consisting heavily of his family- his sister Barbara Hawkins is the superintendent, and sister Frances is the CFO. Originally opened as a drop out prevention high school, the school has since expanded to serve PK-12th grades, spanning early childhood, middle school (mostly housed at a separate location) and high school. In addition to core classes, the school has a sports program including basketball, cheer, and soccer teams, and has a new gym facility that hosts basketball and volleyball tournaments. Teachers here, as at other schools, are of all varieties of background and education levels- quite a few possess Masters degrees or in the process of obtaining them, and all staff participate in extensive professional development and training. However, some teachers are better skilled and more experienced than others and it shows in the education and support they provide their students. Don't take this as a mark against this school in particular- you'll find that at any school. Recently, in addition to improving teacher skills through increased professional development and support, the school has also expanded course offerings and electives, particularly at the high school level. All students receive weekly gym and music classes, and they have also recently started an art program. High school students are able to take Spanish or German, and also have a Spurs Silver Dancer as a fine arts/dance teacher as well. Minor things that count against this school is the lack of transparency from administration, inconsistencies between classes and grade levels, and the fact that most grade levels only have one or two teachers- if you have difficulties, there really isn't often an alternative. However, on the bright side, classes are relatively small and the student body is small and feels more like a large family.

Worst school EVER! Leadership is horrible. If they're at work they're either unavailable or busy…read morewriting everyone up for not adhering to their teaching practices instead of best teaching methods utilized by individual teachers. The admin yells at teachers for taking time off but admin is absent far more often. The Academy's CEOs don't care about their staff, instead they focus on attendance to get more monies from the government, while ignoring the complaints of teachers.
